    So I bought a Desert Eagle Cat Cover and didn't know that my pro skid plate would interfere with installation until after I got it.

    I need to remove the two rear bolts of the Pro skid plate. I was able to get the nut off of one bolt but there seems to be a washer or something farther down the bolt that doesn't come off.

    Anybody know how to remove the rear bolts?

    I added the RCI and had the same problem. There is a spacer (metal tube thing) and a retaining washer? on it. The first came out easy but I dropped the tube in the frame and couldn't fish it out. The second I was unable to pull out. That's when I discovered the washer. I think I used wither my hand or needle nose and grabbed the washer and twisted bolt till the washer came off. It was a pain. Don't know if this helps but I feel your pain.

    Thanks, I’ll try that tomorrow. All I got was a nut and a black metal spacer thing. I could feel the washer but that was about it. It felt like it was welded onto the damn bolt.
